Firstly, nobody depends upon Fr. Hewko for sacraments:
His “faithful” are perfectly content to go years without any sacraments (in order to be “faithful!”).
There are validly ordained priests all around them whom they could approach, but they choose not to.
As for the length of the thread getting stretched by those not “dependent” upon Hewko for sacraments, I would say firstly that you are deceived regarding the identity of some of this thread’s posters, and secondly that it is their preference for Hewko which is placing them in harm’s way, and not the fact that Williamson won’t facilitate that poisoned ministry:
Was it not Hewko himself who sold his “faithful” that stupid bill of goods by which they must shun all other clergy but himself (eg., red-lighting SSPX Mass attendance, etc.)?
I guess the situation has deteriorated beyond what I imagined. I knew Fr. Hewko when he was still with the Society and for a few years afterward, but haven’t attended a Mass or had any personal contact since he was still in Boston, KY. That situation with the warlock was very bad. I separated myself from it and everyone who had anything to do with it in 2015.
So far as I know, Fr. H. has never issued an apology or official retraction of the years he spent under Fr. Pf. and his warlock sidekick.
So the Hewkoites would become home-aloners if something should happen to Fr. Hewko? Does Fr. Hewko refuse Sacraments to people based upon them attending either his or Fr. Ruiz’s Mass? Where do they hear Mass if he’s away? They don’t go? If so, that’s not good. What about Confirmation? Where do Hewkoites go for Confirmation? What will they do when he finds his property for his “seminary?” Is everyone planning to move? (Most unwise if there is no bishop!)
The entire situation isn’t good at all. I feel badly for the children and possibly dependent elderly/disabled dragged into it. These are the souls I’d consider in danger. If any of these is deprived of the Sacraments, Bp. W. won’t be held responsible, however. God will primarily charge the heads of the families with the punishments in Purgatory or, God forbid, loss, of souls.
